PER GENERAL REQUEST -- BIG FAT NOTICE TO DEVELOPERS:
Please dont create unnecessary additional vanity keys. Just use the "test" key already present in the keystore to sign your Kindlets. Spare everybody the trouble of updating their Kindle each time. Help your Karma.

Kindlets come from many developers and are often signed with different keys.

I haved merged keys from all developers active to date in this forum (let me know if I missed any so I can maintain this Merged Developer Keystore)

As requested I make it available in post#1 of this thread for your convenience.

Copying this developer.keystore to your /var/local/java/keystore/ and restarting the Kindle will allow using any of these developer's Kindlet.

Thanks so much Thomass. I am afraid that I am not entirely sure what I should do with the files you uploaded. Sorry to ask more after what you've done. I'm guessing I don't just install the ini? Where do I put things?

Thanks for the suggestion thomass. This way opens up several possibilities. I actually used your idea to make similar with the disable logging, disable indexing, and removing ads threads. While I prefer to keep the USB Hack around (especially as a way to check up on whether or not these scripts do their job), I know this will greatly benefit those who aren't comfortable enough using the USB Hack and doing it manually, line-by-line.

Thanks. I actually threw together something similar, as well as an uninstall for those who may want it. Same thing as yours. BTW, while 'mntroot rw' and 'mntroot ro' is required for some of the scripts/commands, you don't need them for this one as the '/var' folder isn't root.

###### Kindlet apps/games keystore
# backup the old one if exist:
if [ -f /var/local/java/keystore/developer.keystore ]
then
cp /var/local/java/keystore/developer.keystore /mnt/us/launchpad/developer.keystore.bkp_orig
fi
# move the new one and keep a backup of it, just in case:
if [ -f /mnt/us/launchpad/developer.keystore ]
then
cp /mnt/us/launchpad/developer.keystore /var/local/java/keystore/
mv /mnt/us/launchpad/developer.keystore /mnt/us/launchpad/developer.keystore.bkp
fi
exit

I think it may be better if you collect your all installer scripts in a new thread with links to the necessary files (ie develepor.keytore , etc) and some small descriptions. (if you have time of course)

Thanks for the suggestion. I thought about that, but as this thread (along with the other ones I threw an '.ini', '_install.sh', and '_uninstall.sh' together) are the threads mentioned in the main "Kindle Hacks" post: http://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=128704, I figure people can best find each one of them on the appropriate link on that page, like this thread, so long as they read the entire thread and not just the first posting.

Personally, after seeing your original script, and found it to work, I created and use a 'customizations_install.sh' (and 'customizations_uninstall.sh' one too) that incorporates all of the hacks I would have normally done via USB hack. So much easier.
